PFF grade just means he's doing HIS job well. Not that he's been incredibly successful in the offense.

Chase has set records largely due to his magnificent start, which I give him credit for. I'm talking specifically about his current slump, why it's happening, and how we can get him out of it.


If that's what we need to do to help him out, so be it.

Doesn't seem like Zac wants to do that though.

I can't remember where I wrote this, it was in some thread around here, but the statement was that Chase has never had to adjust in his career.

In High School, he was the best guy on the field. In college he was on a loaded team for his breakout season and then didn't return, he didn't have to change his game, he just went out and did his thing.

Now, at the highest level it isn't just about natural abilty. You have to adjust to playing against the best football minds in the world every week. New coverages, new formations, new techniques, etc. I got blasted by two members of the Chase is God brigade for saying I'd take Diggs, Hopkins, Hill, etc over Chase. The reason I'd take those guys, they've adjusted to the NFL multiple times and shown that they can thrive. How many QBs have more natural ability then Tom Brady? The answer is a lot. The difference between them and Brady however is that he is just such a damn competitor and works to adjust and change and make himself better than everyone else around him. Chase has never had to do that in his career, it's time to see if he can do it and then do it again, and again. 

I'm not saying that he can't but until he proves he can adjust to the NFL life, and teams getting tape on him and having the talent to stop him, we wait to find out.
